operations that need to see which paths have been modified.
* The "diff" family of commands learned to ignore differences in
carriage return at the end of line.
* Places that know about "sendemail.to", like documentation and shell
completion (in contrib/) have been taught about "sendemail.tocmd",
too.
* "git add --renormalize ." is a new and safer way to record the fact
that you are correcting the end-of-line convention and other
"convert_to_git()" glitches in the in-repository data.

they have been corrected.
